My first post! Hooray for me.
Anyways, I've built what I consider a strong investment portfolio and would like to venture out into real estate by buying a rental property and try my hand at being a landlord. I'm a little nervous because I've heard horror stories about terrible tenants and I was hoping some of you who own rental properties could tell me if you think the hassles of being a landlord out weigh the positives of an appreciating (hopefully) property that generates additional income.
Also, if you've used rental income to FI RE already, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well.
